Hivey Hacks: 5 Game-Changing Features for Breweries to Transform Food Truck Partnerships

The brewery business is all about creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere where patrons can enjoy great beer and delicious eats.

However, managing food truck partnerships can sometimes feel like juggling pints during a busy Friday night.

That’s where Hivey comes in—a modern solution that simplifies the process and lets you focus on the beer.

Here’s a look at the five buzzworthy features Hivey offers to upgrade your food truck game in 2025.

Spoiler: Number 5 is our favorite!

1. Upgraded, All-In-One Workspace

Say goodbye to the chaos of sticky notes, emails, and spreadsheets.

With Hivey’s all-in-one workspace, managing your food truck partners has never been easier.

Invite your go-to food trucks—or new ones—to join your Hivey network.

From there, the magic happens:

• • Vendors can view your event calendar and apply to participate.

• • You confirm bookings with a single click.

• • All your scheduling and communication needs happen in one place.

Keep your little black book for nostalgia, but trust Hivey to keep you organized and efficient.

PS: Your vendor list is private to you. Hivey is not a marketplace.

2. Automatic Notifications

Communication is key, but doing it manually is a headache.

Hivey’s automatic notification system keeps everyone in the loop:

• • Vendors are reminded of their bookings 48 hours in advance.

• • Cancellations are flagged immediately, giving you time to rebook.

• • Need a last-minute replacement? Hivey makes it easy to invite vendors from your network or share your open slot online (more on that in number 5).

This feature is a game-changer, ensuring you’re never left scrambling to fill an unexpected gap.

“Hivey has been a game-changer for our brewery! Instead of spending hours chasing down food trucks or scrambling when cancellations happen, the platform seamlessly connects us with great options. It’s made scheduling a breeze and keeps our events running smoothly. Thanks to Hivey, we can focus on what we do best—making beer and creating great experiences!” – Launch Pad Brewery

3. Calendar Syncing

Manually updating your event calendar is so last year.

Hivey’s calendar syncing does the heavy lifting for you:

• • Confirmed food trucks are automatically added to your event calendar. Just embed it onto your website.

• • Menus are linked to the calendar for your customers’ convenience.

Keep your patrons informed and excited about what’s coming up—all with zero extra effort.

4. Updated QR Codes

Gone are the days of reprinting QR codes for every new truck lineup.

Hivey’s dynamic QR codes save you time and money:

• • Print a single QR code for your tables or coasters.

• • The code updates automatically to reflect your food truck schedule and menus.

It’s one small change that makes a big difference, letting you focus on brewing great beer instead of managing table toppers.

5. Custom URL (Our Favorite!)

Hivey’s custom URL is a true powerhouse for streamlining your vendor relationships.

Here’s why we love it:

• • Share your personalized link to invite vendors to join your network and apply to serve.

• • Post it on Facebook, Instagram, or even turn it into a QR code for your website.

• • Food trucks can easily view and apply for your open events.

This feature simplifies everything, from building your dream vendor roster to filling last-minute slots.

It’s the ultimate tool to keep your events buzzing.

Conclusion: Brew More, Stress Less
